i cant believe Cariad said Tataouine its a city here in Tunisia and its close from where i live ... im so happy star wars was filmed there .

It's 2019 and Alan's observation of Boris Johnson is spot on.

Watching this, it's utterly bizarre to see comments complaining about Sandy Toksvig and Cariad being in any way not entertaining when there's David Baddiel to compare them to.

Bring back Stephen Fry ...please!

While I like Sandi in general, she's too subdued too much of the time. While she's explaining things, whenever somebody gets an answer right, etc, it always ends up being way more boring than when Stephen did it. There's no "You're RIGHT!", her tone when she explains is quiet and like a bad university lecturer, she often explains things without even asking a question first...the tone of the show goes up and down from funny and exciting to dead boring and back again a lot now.

The more I watch, the more I can see the flaws in Sandi's style, she was an excellent guest, one of the best, and frankly, she's still probably the best possible host host after Stephen. In later seasons I think the quality of guest declines a bit too, possibly cause of a reduction in funding but I'm just guessing.

Yes, of course, because the constant sex innuendos every 10 minutes, in every single show during Stephen's period were not childish.....Especially when only men were invited, it was unwatchable. They all acted like virgin boys in a school yard imagining how it would be to see someone naked.... The last years with Stephen were annoying at times and I tend to believe that was because he was not happy anymore with the show (and how it was recorded) and didn't care as much. Sandi is great, fresh and brought life again in the show. While I do think that the show lasted as much due to Stephen, I do think that it was time for him to go and Sandi as his replacement was the best idea.
